Description

The Combat (Vitagraph, 1916). One Sheet (27.25" X 41").
One of the earliest female stars of the Silent Era, Anita Stewart,
stars opposite John S. Robertson in this melodrama directed by
Stewart's real life brother-in-law, Ralph Ince. Robertson's claim
to fame came not through his acting on screen, but his work off the
set as a director for such classics as the 1920 adaptation of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde starring John Barrymore and the 1931
film The Phantom of Paris with John Gilbert. The first of
any paper ever sold at Heritage for this title, this bright stone
litho poster has had professional restoration address mild chips
and tears in the borders and folds, and has applied touchup to the
folds. There are replaced sections of paper loss along the right
border. Fine+ on Linen.
